Oaxaca, Mexico--Santo Domingo, People, and Other Places

A honey bee sips nectar on a lavender flower, at a lavender farm on San Juan Island. Look for this image as a greeting card. This image reminds me of a favorite character in Shakespeare, Ariel, the lithe spirit of "The Tempest," an image of the spiritual power of nature. He's everywhere in nature: "Where the bee sucks, there suck I," he sings.
